A structured facility inspection tool covering 8 critical H&S domains aligned to WRAP Principle 8 and OSHA general industry standards. Score each item, identify deficiencies, and generate a prioritized corrective action summary.
The RC2 Health & Safety Inspection Checklist is a facility-level readiness tool designed for internal compliance teams, operations managers, and PASA audit preparation. It covers the eight most frequently audited H&S domains under WRAP Principle 8, OSHA 29 CFR 1910, and ILO OSH 2001 — including fire safety, chemical handling, emergency preparedness, PPE, machine guarding, electrical safety, sanitation, and incident reporting.
Items marked ★ Critical represent deficiencies that will almost always generate an audit finding or regulatory citation. Address these first. All other items represent best-practice compliance that should be documented and maintained.
Conduct a physical walk-through of your facility. Score each item based on actual observed conditions — not intent.
Mark Pass, Fail, or N/A for each item. Add notes for any fails identifying the specific deficiency.
Review your composite score and priority fail list. Use results to build a corrective action plan before your formal audit.

Strong H&S compliance posture. Schedule formal audit. Continue monitoring and maintain all documentation current.
Partial compliance with identifiable gaps. Build a corrective action plan addressing all Critical fails before audit scheduling.
Multiple compliance deficiencies. Do not schedule audit. Engage qualified H&S support and build a 60–90 day remediation plan.
RC2 Consulting provides expert H&S audit preparation, gap analysis, corrective action planning, and WRAP Principle 8 documentation support for manufacturing facilities.
